Pro 4528 Norwalk, Connecticut | Subject: RE: Best Mens Wetsuit - 2008 I have a Neosport sprint John sleeveless, the price cannot be beat, so far the quality is awesome, and the legs are very easy to get in and out of, provides great buoyency and flexability. I also have the sleeved model coming for x-mas for the colder water. |

Veteran 107 Vancouver, WA | Subject: RE: Best Mens Wetsuit - 2008 Dollar for dollar, it is tough to beat Promotion prices, especially if you are new to the sport and looking for your first wetsuit. I am partial to this company due to location (they are in my backyard) making service very easy. I was able to walk in to their store and have the neck velcro adjusted right then and there. They took me back into the factory and custom adjusted it for me. I would doubt that happens with any of the big "name brand" suits. I have had my suit for 3 years and it is holding up very well. I swam IMAZ recently in it and was warm enough during the swim even with the sleeveless model. Check them out: |

I also have the sleeved model coming for x-mas for the colder water. It's good to hear that this suit of good quality, I am considering buying one myself. As you say the price cannot be beat. I really would rather not wear a wetsuit (and haven't up until now) but when the water gets below 60 it is tough to deal with. I am planning to by a size med sleeveless for my 5'-10" 158lb body, I hope it fits. |

They wanted specific measurements along with the order and they sent me a large suit. It seems to fit well, though I have not raced in it yet. I think a medium would be too small to get into and more importantly out of quickly. |

I was planning on buying the suit on ebay (they are $120) so I just looked at their sizing chart and assumed a med would fit. It sounds like I would need the same size as you have. Have you been in the water with it at all, I am interested to know if it is loose anywhere when it gets wet. |
